Mate To The Queen

"Jaxon!"I wince at the sound of my mother screaming my name. "You are so dead," Maia taunts with a smirk.I toss her a glare before getting up from the couch and walking to my father's office. The door is already open."Jaxon how many times do I have to explain the rules to you before you actually start following them?" My mom growls, furiously running her fingers through her mess of curly red hair.I drag my hands down my face with a groan. "It was an accident—""An accident? Jaxon you know you're not allowed to shift during the day!" She seethes."I'm sorry, I lost control because Layton was pissing me off. But dad immediately had him sent to the Devil's Circle for confinement and no one else saw so it's okay," I assure her.Her fiery eyes search mine for several mi

"What the fuck do you want Jaxon?" I growl. My brother rolls his eyes and walks into the office. "The Ring is the most popular club in the pack, it's all I ever hear about. I'm really impressed with how much effort you've put into it even though it's technically not even yours," he says making me growl again.I stand up from my desk and push past him, walking out of the office. "Did you really interrupt my work just to tell me you're impressed?" I snap.I walk behind the bar counter and he sits down on one of the stools. I grab the clipboard on the wall and start checking the stock of liquor behind the bar. Out of the corner of my eye I see Jaxon sigh."Actually, I came to talk to you about Maia," he says and I pause."What about Maia?" I ask. As much as my twin sister irritates the hell out of me, I still care about her."Well I'm really worried she is going to find her mate next week. I mean mom and dad let her invite the entire pack

I jerk awake when I feel my mattress bounce underneath me. My eyes snap immediately towards Jaxon sitting at the foot of my bed, a wide grin on his face."Happy sixteenth birthday sis!" He shouts, throwing his hands up in the air.I laugh, rolling my eyes. "Thanks, Jax, did Angel make breakfast?" I ask.He chuckles. "It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon so she made lunch; she knew you'd be hungry as soon as you woke up—well if you ever woke up." He suddenly reaches under my bed. "Anyway, mom wanted me to show you this."My eyes widen when he slides a large white box out. "How long has that been there?""A week, I think? They hid it under here cause they know you never check under your bed.""Yeah maybe I should start doing that," I murmur."Yeah, you should clean your room too," he says, glancing around. I frown at him. "My room is perfect what are you talking about?"He shrugs. "I'll let you open that, then meet

There are times when I wish more than anything that I was an only child. This is one of those times."Your face is so fluffy!"I shake my head as Maia pats a flower bush, a stupid grin spread across her face. I feel nothing but embarrassment at the moment.Kaine is sitting on the ground, banging his head on the tree behind him. He looks just as ashamed of Maia as I do."Someone should take a video of this," Taylor snickers.I glare at her but she just shrugs. "What time is it?" I ask.She checks her phone. "1:31."I sigh tiredly. "She should be shifting soon.""I hope her wolf makes her less stupid," Taylor mutters when Maia starts whispering to the bush."I'm just surprised the pills and alcohol didn't kill her," Kaine says. He raises his eyebrow as Maia puts her ear to the plant and giggles. "Though I'm kinda starting to wish they had."Her hand suddenly flies to her mouth and Taylor quickly gathers up Maia's ha

"Don't worry about your sister Kaine, she'll be fine. You need to focus on yourself right now," my mother snaps.I clench my jaw. "I'm fine," I mutter.She growls. "Yeah you're fine. You just mauled a wolf from the pack but yeah you're definitely fine," she snarls, throwing me a fiery glare before turning back to the trail."He deserved what he got," I spit.She stops dead in her tracks and whips around. The top of her head barely reaches my chin, but she radiates power. "I don't care if he deserved it, you lost control and killed a wolf Kaine!"I snort. "You're one to talk."Her face goes stoic but her eyes flare. Her fists are clenched, and I can tell she's trying to hold her dragon back. "Yes, I killed a wolf. I killed hundreds—I killed entire packs of wolves Kaine. But not once did I ever make an excuse, I took responsibility for every single life I took," she growls. "Now shut up and walk."***I watch the flames dan
